    My heartfelt condolences to Kris’ family and friends. I never met Kris but know how very important she was to my dear friend Patti O’Brien. There was such a special bond there that you rarely get to experience in life. May peace be with all who new and loved her.

    John…as I told you before, her love to you and your families love for her never goes away. The say that life is a temporary stop to eternity. The children provide the physical immortality of the 2 of you ( the Kosich’s). I am so sorry but am glad God graced you and Kris with this gift uniting your 2 spirits. The sadness now will show you the many people whose lives you two touched and they will touch you back. We will always be there for you. You have been a great friend to me. I have a picture I sent to you of my grandchildren smiling at a Bulls game which is imprinted in my mind. I sent it to you that very night. The kids asked me who the nice man is who gave us this night. I told them it was you John and promised them they will meet you one day. Ones life touches another and we are all connected.
    Love
    Wayne

    To John, her children and family I am truly sorry for this loss. I can’t remember a time with Kris that wasn’t full of laughter and happiness. I wish I could give you a hug in person but sending my love and prayers across the miles.
